Ok, so the story began after I acquired another ke70 corolla after my first one was written off. This one is a late model ke70, so it has the slant front head lights, automatic, 1.3l 4k. The plan was to stick a 4age in it, coilovers, LSD, stripped interior, strut bracing and some ma61 rims. Only thing was, my mind wandered away from 4age’s, I wasn’t entirely interested in putting one in my car, I would have liked a bit more power. So after talking to a few people (little red spirit, 70xin, beerhead, samQ, hao), I decided to go down the route of a 7age, objective; mainly a sprints vehicle with hillclimb and the occasional drift. It has taken A LOT of research, lots of questions, and I am sure the guys above are absolutely sick of the pointless questions over the last 9 months.

Anyway, so I bit the bullet, I went and bought a 7afe, $450 from a local wrecker, very common motor, if you are thinking about buying one, ask around, get the best price for a running engine and go from there. Next up was the head and pistons. After a lot of advice from other, more knowledgeable people I chose the 16v 4age small port head and pistons to make up the GE section of the motor. My reasoning, well it seemed like a much cheaper option, and more aftermarket parts seemed to be available when it came down to cams & such. I also picked up some 20V silver top throttle bodies instead of just using the stock 4age inlet manifold. The throttle bodies will be bolted to the head with an T3 adaptor plate supplied by spirited drive, and also a vacuum block will be used to ensure even vacuum distribution between the ITB’s. The head will receive a slight deck (just to get it square), vacuum test of the combustion chamber, valve lapping, match port and complete VRS kit. I know that using a stock head isn’t the way to build a race motor, but cams and such can be changed at a later date with out removing the engine, plus I have a spare head to work on whilst I get the hang of the car in the mean time! The bottom end will consist of 7afe crank, SPOOL 7afe H-beam forged connecting rods fitted with ARP head studs, ARP race bearings through out, and a complete balance from flywheel > pistons. Crank will be linished (casting marks removed), the block will be decked, and bores depeding on their condition will be honed or bored, hoping to get away with just a hone. All parts will finally be acid cleaned before assembly. Stock small port pistons will be used, just so the compression ratio doesn’t climb into the 13’s, as will a stock small port headgasket. I will also have a set of T3 adjustable cam gears on the front.

Once the engine is assembled, it will be fitted to the car, with an adaptronic e420c ecu wired in by beerhead. Reasoning for the e420c is because I haven’t heard anything but good things about the Adaptronic ecu, I didn’t like the idea of running with the stock computer with the throttle bodies either, and just to hopefully squeeze a little more power out of this baby, oh, and I got it pretty cheap as well! Putting the power through to the wheels will be a t50, and as for a diff, well I am not entirely sure yet! Wheels will be ma61 rims with semi slicks most likely, and another set of 13x7 hotwires to run on the street. Front end has JDM coilovers with rebuilt tokico shocks so the valving has been removed, not desireable, but I will see how the go, coilover kit seems to be of the craft with an unknown spring rate (haven’t been bothered to go to a suspension shop to test them yet). Super pro bush’s all round, new LCA ball joints on stock control arms, tein camber tops, ADM brake calipers with JDM disk and reduced thickness brake pad. Anti roll bars will be left stock with nolathane bush’s for the moment, will see how that goes, if I need to bigger I will! Interior will be stripped with two bucket seats for the moment, most likely velo milano’s or something similar. Only thing left will be the centre console and dash, + the door cards.

I know I have left a whole lot of shit out in this big spiel, but it’s hard to put it all in one story. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I will try to post some pictures of parts as the come in, and as things get done on the car. Things move slowly around here, 3rd year apprentice wages make it tough to build a no-expenses spared weekend car.

Anyway, this is my list of parts:
1. late model ke70, straight
2. 7afe
3. 16v small port complete engine with ecu and loom
4. Spool conrods
5. Adaptronic e420c
6. Silver top ITB's
7. 2x t50
8. 7age conversion gear (xmembers, pedal box etc.)
9. Jap coilovers (front) with tein camber tops with adm calipers
10. Stock steering arms and control arms
11. Anti roll bars
12. 6x ma61 rims including centre caps


What I need:
1. All superBRO bush's, balljoints etc for suspension
2. Quad adaptor plate
3. Pistons (will come after engine builder gives the advice)
4. All bearings seals and gaskets
5. New water pump
6. Recond of alternator.
7. Tyres
8. 2x Velo fixed backs
9. Steering wheel

And a whole heap of other stuff... Can't think of it all at the moment. Progress will be slow, not much has happened in the last 12 months, just lots of parts hoarding. I don't have much in the way of pictures, as there isn't too much to see!

Oh, by the way it isn't a 2000hp 20b twin turbo rotary. :)

[hao.]

Looks like a promising build Tim. Can't wait to see it finished! :)

[LittleRedSpirit]

Ive seen this car, its coming along real well. Great shell to begin with, in my humble opinion.

[Breaka]

Thread title certainly gained my attention!

Good luck dude. 7a sounds fat.

[08ftwyo]

Thanks for the kind words! Hopefully things will be moving a little more quickly in the next 6 months now that I have gathered most of my parts.

[sundee]

yeww its gonna be a good thing... get photobucket or something so the pics are BIG! ;)

[joeschmo_57]

yeah 7age is the taste of the future!

sounds awesome man!

[sun_moon]

yeah 7age is the taste of the future!


agreed. i find smallport heads are also the way of the future.
smallport head was the best choice for this build. if your doing something, do it properly ;)

[AJPS]

should be good, the 7a cars are always sick

[BLACK COUPE]

you work at mazda rite?????? i work at sci-fleet yewww build looks good mate, good luck with it!!

[08ftwyo]

Nah I work at mercedes! And yea see you cruise past every couple of arvos with yo wheels stickin owt yo gaurds. Hahahha.

Thanks for the comments! I thought I was doing something different building a 7a, but there is a fair few coming out of the woodwork at the moment!

[biggo]

I like this project.

Has anyone actually compared a bt20v to a smallport 7age? I would like to know.

[08ftwyo]

More pics as promised :) I put a little bit of effort into these ones :P

Parts all layed out, just for you guys! :P

[LittleRedSpirit]

I like this project.

Has anyone actually compared a bt20v to a smallport 7age? I would like to know.

I dragged Felixs Smallport 7 against my Blacktop. His was not running real well (pre adaptronic days), but it would still drift around decently.

Spanked it with the Blacktop. It made it to Youtube but was removed at my request. Shifting into 3rd had a about 10 car lengths on him.

I imagine it would be far more competitive these dyas. Ill have to get him up to Willowbank for a rematch and we can settle it.:DD

[08ftwyo]

Buy my bricks Matt. ;)

[LittleRedSpirit]

Buy my bricks Matt. ;)

Trade bricks for my regular poo? Can make daily payments until were even? PM me.:thumbup:

[08ftwyo]

Annnddd the crowd says NO DEAL! Hahahah.

[keimeier]

keep it up dude liking the build

[08ftwyo]

Have some more parts coming mid next week! All of my bush's, balljoins & rack ends etc, and some parts from t3 :)

Have planned a big weekend of work on Queens birthday weekend, and aiming to have this thing done by August 30! Lets see how we go :)

Will have an update with pics etc next week.

[trikzlane]

lookin good

[08ftwyo]

Picked up some more parts for this thing today, and have another big piece to the puzzle coming hopefully late this week, or early next week. I must say a big thanks for everyone who has supplied me with parts, have not made me wait any longer than expected! Big up's to spirited drive for these bits. Great to deal with and very efficient.

[08ftwyo]

Recieved more stuff today!

CAS & coils
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/1/0/45275.jpg

CAS
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/1/0/45276.jpg

Loom
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/1/0/45277.jpg

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/1/0/45278.jpg

Now this loom has been built to suit an adaptronic e420C which is the computer I will be running, also to run coils & CAS over distributor. I was planning on just building once myself, but this was a pretty good price so I thought why not.

I have been prepping a bit of the suspension stuff aswell over the weekend, this baby will be sitting on the ground by Queens birthday everything going according to plan!

[R&D Mechanical]

Whos going to be first to say it?


Looks good dude! one to look out for!

[Sam-Q]

yay nice selection of parts. Even though I have gripes with some of their products those T3 gears and manifold and outstanding quality. This will be good to see come together

[08ftwyo]

Thanks guys, means heaps :)
And yea Sam, the t3 parts are pretty friggin awesome if you ask me, the adaptor plate is a tad heavy, but I'm not too worried about that. Thanks for the comments again!

[-ollie-]

This is sweet. Was that loom made by anthony @ kaizen garage??

[Sam-Q]

I am guessing no

[08ftwyo]

LOL I hope not. And I really doubt it, as it was bought from someone in W.A & I think that he bought it from someone in Adelaide or something. If it was, it will be forsale :P

[fantapants]

i think from memory ant sent at least 2 looms to wa....

[shift_rook]

looking good dude! would like to see skid vids asap if that's ok

[08ftwyo]

Yea it was a joke, I know how much trouble Matt has had with his loom etc, I will see how it goes, it's shouldn't be too hard to build a new loom if needs be. Skid vids will be a while away, the main focus of this car will be hillclimb and sprints at this stage.

[08ftwyo]

Just for every body's info, loom was built by buddyparts!

[45KIDS]

duz it dwipt yet?

[08ftwyo]

HAHA i don't even know what the fuck that means... i'm going to just assume that it means does it drip diesel.....diesel squirters ftwwwwww.

[sundee]

Thanks guys, means heaps :)
And yea Sam, the t3 parts are pretty friggin awesome if you ask me, the adaptor plate is a tad heavy, but I'm not too worried about that. Thanks for the comments again!

Good to see you have big pics now, makes thread so much better, looking foward to seeing more progress with this build man, Glad to hear your happy with the Parts aswell.
The adapter is actually pretty light if you take into account how much solid Aluminum is used.

[kerola]

hey mate sweet as build.
just wondering what are those coils from?
cheers

[jdmke70kid]

this is sick wat oil cooler is that man?? where u get it from?? gl with build

[08ftwyo]

oil cooler is from ebay, i'll be getting different fitting for it though, i've heard those fittings aren't the strongest.

can't remember what the coils are from, I will have to check the part number off them...

Progress has been really slow on this lately, have had a fair bit of shit happening around the place, but I want to get stuck back into it now. Suspension still isn't back in the car, as I said I have been super lazy. Can't wait to drive this thing though, is veryyy high on my list of things to do!

[pen15]

love the 7a build im planing on doing the same spool rods and 7a bottom end with your timing belt you are going to be using your 4a belt because you have adjustable gears wright? and are you going to be keeping your stock pistons and finally what limiter will you be setting im guessing what 8500rpm or more with those rods

looks good

[08ftwyo]

Selling the 7a gear, so 7afe and 7a spool rods, check my forsale thread!

[joeschmo_57]

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

build was looking so promising too!!!!!!!!!!!

[biggo]

the fucks going on here/?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????


should i empathize the point????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????

[pen15]

this build got me inspired on my 7a whats up well good luck on the direction your going now

[08ftwyo]

well i've sold the 7a rods, but i'm just going to hang onto the block & crank for the moment. Not enough money to build the 7age at the moment, and i would reallly rather build a 7agte to be honest hehe. But yea, plan is to freshen up/build the small port i have sitting in ze garage, throttle bodies, ecu blah blah all that special shit. I know I suck but I really want to drive this car! haha I will have pics of what occured on the weekend, got alone done for once!

[LittleRedSpirit]

Oh well its probably easier to get it running a stock ge to begin with mate.

I have a smallport here that you couyld probably just toss in or a gze if you wanna make it 4agte from the get go.

Have a good one, Ill catch you sometime soon, Tim.

[77crown]

GOD DAMMIT!!! this thread gets me everytime...20b KE70 OMG!!!...*loads page*DOH!!

[08ftwyo]

Matt! long time no speak, i'll have to give you a call this week mate!

[08ftwyo]

This thing is a piece of shit.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/1/0/64218.jpg

[08ftwyo]

i should ad that it's on ma's now, front is back on the ground, have to swap one more axle out of the diff and then i can drop the rear down. waiting on some engine parts from the j-mad-work man himself. if you're wondering if this will get ever finished...well yes, it will...in good time!

[ae86 slide]

Nice build man, like someone else said a ze with pulley kit is awesome bang for bucks and great platform to turbo later, just my 2c.

Also in your first post you mentioned someone named beerhead doing wiring for adaptronics, does he do cash work? My ze needs some wires put in the right spots.

[08ftwyo]

thanks mate. I haven't heard from beerhead for quite some time, that's his username on rollaclub so maybe send him a message on there or something. I managed to buy a whole loom from off of here which was a bonus.

[ae86 slide]

that would make things a shite load easier. good luck with the rest of the build mate.

[08ftwyo]

yea, thought it was too good to be true when i found it, haha.

[08ftwyo]

i got a free flywheel today. and some xt130 control arms. i like buying stuff and doing nothing! p.s i'm in the hunt for a drum t-seriezzz bro. not an ra40 though.

[fantapants]

that would make things a shite load easier. good luck with the rest of the build mate.

he is still very active on toymods, and easy to get hold of :)

[08ftwyo]

so i picked up a twincam wheel yesterday, have been looking for one for quite some time! plan is to get it retrimmed in a heavy suede, anyone know any good re-trimmers around brisbane!? :)

[08ftwyo]

waddup 4 wheels on the ground!

[08ftwyo]

engine is at the shop as we speak, but i'm not in any rush to get it back just yet, still have a few things to sort out before i put it in! picked up some more cool bits for it, got me a clutch and seat rail thanks to Seamus, some bilsteins for the front thanks to GSL, i also got my drivers seat which is a velo podium II anddd finally i picked up a JDM tank today complete with pump/sender, thanks to justjdm!

everything is getting close, can't wait :)

[joeschmo_57]

score.

what is the shop doing to the engine?

[keimeier]

loom is tougeboys built by nick at buddy parts i believe

[70rolla]

jw what is the purpose of going a jdm tank over standard one ?

[R&D Mechanical]

can run internal fuel pump, has baffles and stuff

[08ftwyo]

can run internal fuel pump, has baffles and stuff

this. + the fact that you don't have an ugly/semi dangerous set up just chilling in your boot. Well worth the extra $100 or so you pay if you ask me.

engine is getting a whole bunch of reconditioning work done + a mild port on the head. I'll put up the list of stuff once i get it back.

[70rolla]

internal pumps louder then an external ....with a jdm tank does it some what muffle it

[08ftwyo]

JDM tank will get test fitted this weekend so i can sort out the filler neck & whatnot, going to knock over a few other nitty things aswell! Anyone who knows where I live should pop over! Free Beer!!!

Oh and engine is almost done, hagens are sorting me out a decent price so I'm not pushing too much. Plus my garage isn't clean enough for an engine yet.

[08ftwyo]

So much goodness going on this week! Tyres arrive tomorrow (reoo1) but i still have to do abit of work to the wheels in the way of cleaning them up. Tank is pretty much fitted even though i said i would do that a month ago. New rear shocks are in, adjustable panhard rod is in, just needs to be adjusted, brakes are all fitted up, just need to do a final bleed (not sure how they will go, might need to rebuild the front calipers but we will see), alternator and starter are at the auto elec getting checked out, should have all that back by tomorrow. buttt the biggest news!

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/1/0/234343.jpg

Picking this bad boy up tomorrow arvo, will pretty much be ready to be bolted in aside from a few things that i need to bolt on.

FUCK THIS CAR IS GETTING CLOSE!

[08ftwyo]

Picked up the engine today :)
Also sorted out the fuel filler neck (i think, will see how it goes first!), got my tyres and started polishing some wheels. I am excited




Very excited :)

Not happy with how the front is sitting but i will see how that goes once the engine is in.
Also, anyone who has a map for an adaptronic ecu, 16v small port running silver top throttle bodies, CAS/Coil over plug set up PLEASEEEE PM me, I need a base tune for this thing, we can sort some sort of cash money transfers out i'm sure.

[Deeken]

Hey mate, wondering if before you got the engine in, you could get me a pic of where the dowels on the cams sit in relation to TDC on the crank? :P sorry if it sounds fiddly.. we cant find pics and the cams we have have adjustable dowels and we dont know if they are in the original positions..

Thanks anyways,

Deeken.

Also thanks heaps to Seamus for the lend of his engine crane!!
I'm still chasing a map for my ECU,if anyone has one for an adaptronic that would be greaaat. The car got put into the garage for the first time on the weekend, which is afucking miracle, because my parents aaaalways said i could never put a car in there haha. So that's a winner! Rear gaurds get welded this weekend, along with plenty of other shit!

[08ftwyo]

This car fucking runs finally

[timbo]

That is a fine beard.

[08ftwyo]

Thanks! Changing the oil and putting some air filters on today then hopefully take it for a putt up my street and then straaaight back down.

[08ftwyo]

Took it for a drive today, spent all day cleaning myself up. Haven't been so happy in so long! Have to tidy alot of things up on the car, then rego in a week or two hopefully, I really just want to drive this thang.

[hao.]

Good stuff, Tim. It's come a long way. :)

[08ftwyo]

Cheers Hao, it's taken a loooong time (my fault) but it feels so good to be here now.

[LittleRedSpirit]

Im very impressed with this vehicle.

Has all the goods, and its going to be fun to tune it.:DD

[08ftwyo]

I'm also very keen to get this thing tuned and run in!

[08ftwyo]

This car is so much fucking fun. I didn't expect to love driving it SO much. Still a lot of issues I need to sort out with it, but I am just fucking loving driving it for the moment.

[08ftwyo]

Got pulled over (for pretty much the first time since I've had my license) in this today (granted, was driving like a wanker), doing a silly speed in a 60 zone, somehow drove away with out a ticket or a warning. Got back in the car after having a chat with the cop, and couldn't believe my luck. No idea how it happened, but I'm kind of glad it did haha.

[joeschmo_57]

I have been driving it a lot more than I thought I would. Been heading to QR as much as possible lately and I have been having a ball. Put some bigport cams in it and got it retuned, drives so much better now since the retune. I really need to fix my rear guards so if anyone is willing please let me know, I have a mig here, I'm just not really all that confident in doing them myself!
